Try reading other (older) posts on PR discussion board - you'll find plenty of useful info.

If you're lucky enough to live close to place where PR seminars are taking place and if you've got extra 200$ it would be wise to enroll into one. You get an expert to guide you and free coaching afterwards. The book has all the necessary info but real course is better.

My advice to you is: Look more for understanding/learning info (books, magazines, whatever) and less for 'results'. As long as you look for 'results' you're tense and not letting go. Have confidence in your subconscious mind and let it work. After PRing activate. Notice what you know and try to learn what you want/need. Then see how much time and effort it took you to do that. It should be considerably less than what it takes using 'traditional' methods.

Also try with 5-day plan. I didn't try it but others say it's great for building skill and confidence.
